* block: Document what queue type each function is intended forBart Van Assche2017-06-211-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some functions in block/blk-core.c must only be used on blk-sq queues while others are safe to use against any queue type. Document which functions are intended for blk-sq queues and issue a warning if the blk-sq API is misused. This does not only help block driver authors but will also make it easier to remove the blk-sq code once that code is declared obsolete.

* block: Avoid that blk_exit_rl() triggers a use-after-freeBart Van Assche2017-06-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the introduction of .init_rq_fn() and .exit_rq_fn() it is essential that the memory allocated for struct request_queue stays around until all blk_exit_rl() calls have finished. Hence make blk_init_rl() take a reference on struct request_queue.

* blk-throttle: add a mechanism to estimate IO latencyShaohua Li2017-03-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | User configures latency target, but the latency threshold for each request size isn't fixed. For a SSD, the IO latency highly depends on request size. To calculate latency threshold, we sample some data, eg, average latency for request size 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k .. 1M. The latency threshold of each request size will be the sample latency (I'll call it base latency) plus latency target. For example, the base latency for request size 4k is 80us and user configures latency target 60us. The 4k latency threshold will be 80 + 60 = 140us. To sample data, we calculate the order base 2 of rounded up IO sectors. If the IO size is bigger than 1M, it will be accounted as 1M. Since the calculation does round up, the base latency will be slightly smaller than actual value. Also if there isn't any IO dispatched for a specific IO size, we will use the base latency of smaller IO size for this IO size. But we shouldn't sample data at any time. The base latency is supposed to be latency where disk isn't congested, because we use latency threshold to schedule IOs between cgroups. If disk is congested, the latency is higher, using it for scheduling is meaningless. Hence we only do the sampling when block throttling is in the LOW limit, with assumption disk isn't congested in such state. If the assumption isn't true, eg, low limit is too high, calculated latency threshold will be higher. Hard disk is completely different. Latency depends on spindle seek instead of request size. Currently this feature is SSD only, we probably can use a fixed threshold like 4ms for hard disk though. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-throttle: add a simple idle detectionShaohua Li2017-03-281-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A cgroup gets assigned a low limit, but the cgroup could never dispatch enough IO to cross the low limit. In such case, the queue state machine will remain in LIMIT_LOW state and all other cgroups will be throttled according to low limit. This is unfair for other cgroups. We should treat the cgroup idle and upgrade the state machine to lower state. We also have a downgrade logic. If the state machine upgrades because of cgroup idle (real idle), the state machine will downgrade soon as the cgroup is below its low limit. This isn't what we want. A more complicated case is cgroup isn't idle when queue is in LIMIT_LOW. But when queue gets upgraded to lower state, other cgroups could dispatch more IO and this cgroup can't dispatch enough IO, so the cgroup is below its low limit and looks like idle (fake idle). In this case, the queue should downgrade soon. The key to determine if we should do downgrade is to detect if cgroup is truely idle. Unfortunately it's very hard to determine if a cgroup is real idle. This patch uses the 'think time check' idea from CFQ for the purpose. Please note, the idea doesn't work for all workloads. For example, a workload with io depth 8 has disk utilization 100%, hence think time is 0, eg, not idle. But the workload can run higher bandwidth with io depth 16. Compared to io depth 16, the io depth 8 workload is idle. We use the idea to roughly determine if a cgroup is idle. We treat a cgroup idle if its think time is above a threshold (by default 1ms for SSD and 100ms for HD). The idea is think time above the threshold will start to harm performance. HD is much slower so a longer think time is ok. The patch (and the latter patches) uses 'unsigned long' to track time. We convert 'ns' to 'us' with 'ns >> 10'. This is fast but loses precision, should not a big deal. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-throttle: choose a small throtl_slice for SSDShaohua Li2017-03-281-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | The throtl_slice is 100ms by default. This is a long time for SSD, a lot of IO can run. To make cgroups have smoother throughput, we choose a small value (20ms) for SSD. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-throttle: make throtl_slice tunableShaohua Li2017-03-281-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | throtl_slice is important for blk-throttling. It's called slice internally but it really is a time window blk-throttling samples data. blk-throttling will make decision based on the samplings. An example is bandwidth measurement. A cgroup's bandwidth is measured in the time interval of throtl_slice. A small throtl_slice meanse cgroups have smoother throughput but burn more CPUs. It has 100ms default value, which is not appropriate for all disks. A fast SSD can dispatch a lot of IOs in 100ms. This patch makes it tunable. Since throtl_slice isn't a time slice, the sysfs name 'throttle_sample_time' reflects its character better. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

* blk-mq: implement hybrid poll mode for sync O_DIRECTJens Axboe2016-11-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables a hybrid polling mode. Instead of polling after IO submission, we can induce an artificial delay, and then poll after that. For example, if the IO is presumed to complete in 8 usecs from now, we can sleep for 4 usecs, wake up, and then do our polling. This still puts a sleep/wakeup cycle in the IO path, but instead of the wakeup happening after the IO has completed, it'll happen before. With this hybrid scheme, we can achieve big latency reductions while still using the same (or less) amount of CPU.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Timer context is not very useful for drivers to perform any meaningful abort action from. So instead of calling the driver from this useless context defer it to a workqueue as soon as possible. Note that while a delayed_work item would seem the right thing here I didn't dare to use it due to the magic in blk_add_timer that pokes deep into timer internals. But maybe this encourages Tejun to add a sensible API for that to the workqueue API and we'll all be fine in the end :) Contains a major update from Keith Bush: "This patch removes synchronizing the timeout work so that the timer can start a freeze on its own queue. The timer enters the queue, so timer context can only start a freeze, but not wait for frozen."

Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling: cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup. It didn't have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO. writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against. This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is tagged with. Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group, which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data. This makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution implemented by cfq. - Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff. - Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased. Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches: This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods and blk[c]g_policy_data handling. - alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data. exit dropped. - alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data. - blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct allocation. - all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or blkcg. And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats handling: blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess. This patchset tries to improve the situation a bit. - The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and blkg creation. This is in itself is an improvement and helps colllecting common stats on bio issue. - per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave the same way. The issue was spotted by Vivek. - cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle implements custom per-cpu stats. This patchset make blkcg core support both by default. - cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats multiple times.

| * blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()Tejun Heo2015-08-191-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in different policies. Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection. This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from generic_make_request_checks(). blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the only function which tries to create missing blkg's. The subsequent policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if missing falls back to the root. * blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg. It uses blkg_lookup() instead of blkg_lookup_create(). * blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu read locked and blkg already looked up. Both throtl_lookup_tg() and throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped. * cfq is similarly updated. cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup(). This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation retries under memory pressure. In addition, this provides a common bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be performed. v2: Build fixes for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED and !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING.

* | blk-mq: fix race between timeout and freeing requestMing Lei2015-08-151-0/+6

This way is obviously wrong because the request can be freed any time and some fiedds of the request can't be trusted, then kernel oops might be triggered[1]. Currently wrt. blk_mq_tag_to_rq(), the only special case is that the flush request can share same tag with the request cloned from, and the two requests can't be active at the same time, so this patch fixes the above issue by updating tags->rqs[tag] with the active request(either flush rq or the request cloned from) of the tag. Also blk_mq_tag_to_rq() gets much simplified with this patch. Given blk_mq_tag_to_rq() is mainly for drivers and the caller must make sure the request can't be freed, so in bt_for_each() this helper is replaced with tags->rqs[tag].

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Last patch makes plug work for multiple queue case. However it only works for single disk case, because it assumes only one request in the plug list. If a task is accessing multiple disks, eg MD/DM, the assumption is wrong. Let blk_attempt_plug_merge() record request from the same queue. V2: use NULL parameter in !mq case. Fix a bug.

* blk-mq: improve support for shared tags mapsJens Axboe2014-05-131-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set. This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users, so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues. If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively throttled down. The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace period has passed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | If a requeue event races with a timeout, we can get into the situation where we attempt to complete a request from the timeout handler when it's not start anymore. This causes a crash. So have the timeout handler check that REQ_ATOM_STARTED is still set on the request - if not, we ignore the event. If this happens, the request has now been marked as complete.

The patch states that it is safe to reuse queuelist at completion time, since it is no longer used. However, that is not true if a device is using block enabled tagging. If that is the case, then the queuelist is reused to keep track of busy tags. If a device also ended up using softirq completions, we'd reuse ->queuelist for the IPI handling while block tagging was still using it. Boom. Fix this by adding a new ipi_list list head, and share the memory used with the request hash table. The hash table is never used after the request is moved to the dispatch list, which happens long before any potential completion of the request. Add a new request bit for this, so we don't have cases that check rq->hash while it could potentially have been reused for the IPI completion. Reported-by: Martin K.

* block: __elv_next_request() shouldn't call into the elevator if bypassingTejun Heo2014-01-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | request_queue bypassing is used to suppress higher-level function of a request_queue so that they can be switched, reconfigured and shut down. A request_queue does the followings while bypassing. * bypasses elevator and io_cq association and queues requests directly to the FIFO dispatch queue. * bypasses block cgroup request_list lookup and always uses the root request_list. Once confirmed to be bypassing, specific elevator and block cgroup policy implementations can assume that nothing is in flight for them and perform various operations which would be dangerous otherwise. Such confirmation is acheived by short-circuiting all new requests directly to the dispatch queue and waiting for all the requests which were issued before to finish. Unfortunately, while the request allocating and draining sides were properly handled, we forgot to actually plug the request dispatch path. Even after bypassing mode is confirmed, if the attached driver tries to fetch a request and the dispatch queue is empty, __elv_next_request() would invoke the current elevator's elevator_dispatch_fn() callback. As all in-flight requests were drained, the elevator wouldn't contain any request but once bypass is confirmed we don't even know whether the elevator is even there. It might be in the process of being switched and half torn down. Frank Mayhar reports that this actually happened while switching elevators, leading to an oops. Let's fix it by making __elv_next_request() avoid invoking the elevator_dispatch_fn() callback if the queue is bypassing. It already avoids invoking the callback if the queue is dying. As a dying queue is guaranteed to be bypassing, we can simply replace blk_queue_dying() check with blk_queue_bypass().

* blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanismJens Axboe2013-10-251-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux currently has two models for block devices: - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag management, timeout handling, queueing, etc. - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack, driver generally have to manage everything themselves. With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands per device. The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent everything, and along with that we get all the problems again that the shared approach solved. This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues. We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports. blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include: - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed tags, to enable cache hot reuse. - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification, if a request happens to fail. - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the desired location. - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need to associate a request structure with some driver private command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time, and then any request handed to the driver will have the required size of memory associated with it. - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus increases bandwidth. For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md devices (as it was originally intended).

* block,elevator: use new hashtable implementationSasha Levin2013-01-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Switch elevator to use the new hashtable implementation. This reduces the amount of generic unrelated code in the elevator. This also removes the dymanic allocation of the hash table. The size of the table is constant so there's no point in paying the price of an extra dereference when accessing it. This patch depends on d9b482c ("hashtable: introduce a small and naive hashtable") which was merged in v3.6.

* block: Avoid that request_fn is invoked on a dead queueBart Van Assche2012-12-061-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so request_fn must not be invoked after draining finished. This is important when blk_run_queue() is invoked without any requests in progress. As an example, if blk_drain_queue() and scsi_run_queue() run in parallel, blk_drain_queue() may have finished all requests after scsi_run_queue() has taken a SCSI device off the starved list but before that last function has had a chance to run the queue.
